PET SPOTLIGHT
Loretta
Loretta likes to sleep in cat beds and play quietly. Being a shy kitty, she is often overlooked by folks coming to adopt because they may not see her and she is not in the habit of seeking people out for attention. But beautiful Loretta is not to be missed! She is a friendly, gentle girl that minds her own business, and isn't demanding. Being a young girl she still has her curious kitten nature and is thrilled to find small coil toys that she can bat around endlessly. Loretta and her sibs came to the shelter as kittens and one by one got adopted, leaving Loretta still looking for the right person. This sweet girl needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. Perhaps that's you?
Description: White, dark grey, black. Easy to care for short coat.
Age: approx 3 years of age.
Likes: Playing with small coil toys. Having her neck scratched and face petted.
Needs: Probably needs a quiet home with no small children. She currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, may blossom into a social cat with the right family.
Cloud
UPDATE-Trying out a home for a week! Cloud is a sweet, male, gray and white kitten about 4 ½ months of age. He has a short- haired coat with large sections of gray and white. He and brother, Speckles, look very similar, except Cloud has a ‘side part’ – a gray splash of color over one side of his forehead and Speckles has a ‘center part’ with gray over both ears/forehead. Cloud has a pink nose, dark tail and curious eyes. Cloud and 4 littermates arrived unwanted, filthy and distressed, but are now safe, clean and comfortable! He’s a little cautious right now but warming up with attention.
Dreamsicle
UPDATE-Trying out a home for a week! Dreamsicle is a female tabby kitten about 4 ½ months of age. Her short- haired coat is mostly white, with light tan- orange markings and a darker golden tail. Dreamsicle has a cute, pixielike face with a pink nose and golden eyes. She and 4 littermates arrived unwanted, filthy and distressed, but are now safe, clean and comfortable! Dreamsicle adores attention, loves getting petted and cuddled and will make a wonderful companion.
Gemma
Gemma is approximately 8 years of age. A soft, medium coated Tabby. She's a lovely grey colored cat with expressive facial markings. Gemma is quiet and keeps to herself in the cat room, but welcomes a bit of attention. She likes to be brushed and petted, but for a short time. Gemma may not be best for young kids at this point, but probably waiting for the right family to show her love and bring out her social side. (approx DOB 11/1/16)
Gunner
Gunner is a male tabby kitty about 8 months of age. His soft gray coat has distinct black striping and white on his legs, chest and face. He’s a handsome boy! Gunnar is an extremely affectionate kitty that enjoys lots of attention and would probably appreciate lots of toys and interactive play with his person. He came with sib Larry, so he has lived with other cats, but so far is not too happy with all the other cats at the shelter. He also tried sharing a home with a dog (uncertain of the dog's temperment) and he was not a fan!
Hoppy
Hoppy is a male, orange, tabby kitty about a year and 3 months old. He has a fluffy long-haired tail and a solid orange colored body with darker stripes on his face and white accenting his mouth and eyes. His coat will benefit from regular brushing/combing- at least a few times a week- to remain tangle free. Hoppy got his name from the slight limp he has when he walks. He was born with his feet turned in, but they self corrected and he doesn’t let it hold him back. He is a little shy yet, but enjoying attention from our volunteers and is a sweetheart. He’s a bit of a ‘talker’ as well! Hoppy arrived as a family of 5 all looking for loving forever homes. DOB March 2024
Julie
Julie is a female kitty about 1 ½ years old with light gray coloring. She has a beautiful, dense fluffy coat in medium length fur. Julie is a very sweet girl, but a little nervous and shy being new to the building. Julie was a stray, although we believe she was a pet that was abandoned and now needs her own forever home where she will be cherished. She was staying under the porch of a kind woman that cared for her until she could find her safety in our shelter. Julie had been spayed by her previous people, thankfully. She doesn’t seem to mind the other cats. Her coat will require regular brushing/combing to remain tangle free.
Kitty Gato
UPDATE Adopted! Kitty Gato is a male tabby kitty with a front declaw and approximately 8 years of age. He is a long haired kitty, although right now he’s sporting a buzz coat due to some unpleasant tangles in his fur. Now he is silky smooth! Long haired cats require regular combing/ brushing to remain tangle free- at least a few times a week is good. For now this sweet boy is looking handsome in his lion cut. His coat is a light orange/buff color with white on the tips of the feet. Kitty Gato is a super loving boy, who adores affection and is good with gentle kids. Of course, he’s an indoor only kitty without his claws.
Kuma
Kuma is a male tabby kitty about 1 year old. His silky, gray colored coat has black striping throughout. His face is highlighted handsomely with white around his eyes and mouth. Kuma is a love bug! His favorite things are being held, carried around, and snuggling.

Come meet this sweetheart!

Loretta
Loretta is a female, short-haired kitty approx 3 years of age. (est dob 4/2022). She has a soft, short-haired coat with large sections of fluffy white fur alongside dark grey & black. Check out Loretta’s adorable pink nose and her sweet face. She is a shy, quiet gal that keeps to herself, but she is friendly, gentle and has a curious nature. Loretta is thrilled to find small coil toys and will play like a kitten with them. Loretta & sibs came to our shelter as kittens and one by one found homes. Being shy, Loretta was nervous about all the shelter activity and didn’t welcome attention and so got passed by for adoption. Volunteers love on her to get her more comfortable around people. She enjoys having her face petted and neck scratched. Sweet Loretta needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. She will most likely do best in a quiet home, without young kids, or boisterous dogs or bossy cats. Allow her to acclimate in one room before getting free run of the house. Come spend time with her and see if you’re a match!

His mom and her four babies were boxed up and tossed in a dumpster. An animal lover discovered them, immediately rescued and got them to our shelter so they could all go into foster care for much needed TLC. Poor mom was almost starved to death trying to ensure her babies could receive nourishment. It certainly takes a village! The wonderful news is mom and two little ones have already been adopted!

She is a very affectionate kitty used to sleeping on warm laps and getting cozy on the bed at nighttime with her person.

Thankfully a kind neighbor watched out for her and Sandie found her way to our shelter so she could once again secure a loving, forever home.
